Today in the city of Uyo, over 10 persons attended our training and workshop. I was happy to see my invites during the cost of the meeting. Among the was a newbie @nemzy whom i onboarded on Hive just two weeks ago, @angelaeffiong, @ogechukwu-martha, etc. These new friends came to learn more about Hive and Spendhbd project. In today's training, important points where made to stand out. Firstly, was introduction of Hive. They newbies where made to understand what Hive is all about. Which is a web3 and decentralized social media platform where original content creators earn from their efforts. Not just that, but where one can learn new things everyday.
Next was what is spendhbd? On this section, the new and Old hivers was made to understand that it's a Hive blockchain project that comes with a cash back when one makes payments using HBD or light BTC. Secondly, all in attendance was warned not to scam the platform by avoiding any illegal transactions in any of the listed businesses as that will be damaging for us. Because Many businesses has been closed or shot down in Nigeria due to this illegal act. Questions came up during the training and, one of the questions was, what's HBD? An interest one right? Yeah! HBD as we all know is Hive backed dollar while Hive is the native token of hive blochain. So, those who asked the questions gat to know the answers to their question. Next was, how can we have the HBD in our wallet. **Answer**: By converting our local currency to HBD. That's to say, instead of buying with Naira which happens to be our local currency, we can buy HBD using Naira and once we get to the listed shops, we can comfortably pay with HBD and claim our discount.
Another person asked, is it possible to convert Hbd to Naira? And the answer was yes. Just as we convert Naira to HBD, same way, we can convert HBD to Naira. That's what makes up the training, question and answers. After taking pictures, we all moved to Judel supermarket for the newbies to practice shopping. This section helped them to see that payments can be made using HBD and the cash back is real. @nemzy was assisted with HBD from one of us and i assisted her in making her payments and claiming her discount after payments.
While in the supermarket, many people where busy buying things too. It's weekend and the supermarket was busy with customers. So, i made a short videos of friends picking up things from the shelves. Please watch the video from 3spek. At the end of the day, we all left with satisfaction that comes from shopping with HBD. Guess what the satisfaction is all about!! Joy. Hahaha, a project that gives joy. Thanks so much spendhbd team's. We are working together with you to maintain transparency and trust in the system in Uyo Nigeria
